In some cases, the diagnostic process includes tools such as clinical decision support, imaging triage systems, risk scoring, or lab workflow software. The concern isn’t that technology is automatically wrong—it’s that these tools can shape decisions in ways that are hard for patients to see.
In a Tremonton context, we commonly see how care can become fragmented:
- A first visit where symptoms are assessed quickly
- A referral to another provider or facility for imaging or lab work
- A second appointment where results are interpreted and acted on
If an AI-assisted recommendation, automated workflow, or documentation step contributed to a missed or delayed diagnosis, that may be tied to negligence—especially if the care team did not verify the output against objective findings or failed to act on abnormal results.
